Chili time again!
Editor’s note: This is a repost of a previous entry – kinda like a warmed up bowl of chili.
We have done this post a few times but with cold, chilly weather gripping most of the country it seems like staying home and makin’ a big pot o’ chili is a good idea. And with football season in full swing, it is especially timely.
The classic recipe, supplied by the good folks who brew Texas’ Lone Star Beer, is available above (click the picture for a larger version). It’s pretty simple, but here is another recipe from the Austin newspaper that is a multi-meat extravaganza. Just for fun (and, depending where you live, for ridicule) here are some chili recipes from the Food Network. One of the recipes has spaghetti!
On that last link above, you will notice of course that some of these chili recipes contain a healthy helping of beans. As a native Texan, it is my duty to remind you that our state’s fine lawmakers some years ago passed a law outlawing the use of beans in chili. I can’t tell you exactly when and, ah, … OK, I just made up that last part.
Just put in the damn beans if that’s what blows up your skirt. But don’t blame me if that’s also what blows out your skirt. Either way, keep a window open – no matter how cold it may be outside.

There is nothing in this cold and cynical world quite as comforting as a bowl of good chili and some fart humor. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
